Puncture Repair
Find out whether your punctured tyre can be repaired.
Not every puncture can be repaired. Small punctures in the central tread area often can; damage to the sidewall or shoulder, large holes and tyres that have been driven flat usually cannot.
A proper repair involves taking the tyre off the rim so the inside can be inspected — a tyre that looks fine outside can be damaged inside.
What it involves
- Tyre removed and the puncture located
- Inside of the tyre inspected for further damage
- Repair carried out if the damage is repairable — otherwise replacement options explained
- Tyre refitted, inflated and checked
Signs you might need it
- A nail, screw or other object in the tread
- A tyre that loses pressure overnight
- A tyre pressure warning light
Common questions
Generally no. The sidewall flexes constantly and a repair there is not considered safe, so the tyre normally needs to be replaced.
